lemm.ee
There’s too many people and communities on world. It’s good to spread out
.world is a bit more generic and broad
.ee is more niche but personal
The users of .ee really turned me off the instance.
Make one on both and see which one suits you better.
Afaik lemm.ee is a pretty normal instance with pretty normal people on it.
Lemm.ee is my favorite, but the upload limit is low.
Better for what? lemm.ee has had less controversies and is federated with more instances
Lemm.ee. Helps decentralizing from LW
Lemm.ee bcus dœsn't block piracy subs (registered this account before remembering lemmy.world blocks them , but tꝏ lazy to make account some where else and wish could export my (post|comment)s not just account settings)
Wait! Which piracy community does world bkoack? And is it possible to check all the communities or instances blocked by world?
If you're interested in communities like that, dbzero is a good place to look.
Thank you! I will have a look. Do u also happen to know where I could check instances defederated or blocked by dbz?
I honestly don't know. I do my own blocking of users/communities/instances through the app. For me, dbzero is the best fit.
Ƕy do you type like þat?
Text expander apps (Espanso for PC|Texpand for android)
With substitutions , (oe shortened to œ|oo shortened to ꝏ|.*)

Any third instance that is less generic and more catered to your interests or physical location would be better.
Also keep in mind that lemm.ee does not defederate from a lot of instances - this is bad if you care about a well-moderated space.
World, because ee does not want you to upload images.
Neither. Never go for an instance thats at the top in terms of user count unless there is a specific reason to do so. This applies to all fediverse or decentralized services.
Go for any of the ones below the red line or sort this table by MAU and find one even further down. Excluding US based servers is also something to think about.
Who is MAU?
Monthly Active Users :3
Counterpoint to this is that you may be in a dead instance that doesn't do updates or get maintained properly. You might sign on one day to find that you can't load any posts because the server is down or overloaded.
Not an issue with like the top 20
I'm on my third account in a year or so precisely for the reasons I mentioned.

Lemmy.ca is targeted at Canadians, feddit.org at German speakers (most of [email protected] is in German). Blahaj is a trans-first space, programming.dev for programmers
Lemmy.zip and sopuli are indeed generalists
infosec.pub because lemmy.ml is de-feded
😎
Are they also defederated from the rest of the tankie triad like lemmygrad and hexbear?
Yea, its the largest instance that blocks all 3.
Hell to the yes! Think I've found my new instance! Only other instance I know of that's defederated from all 3 is lemmy.cafe but I can't post any images using that instance for whatever reason :o
I'm a bit biased, but lemmee has great uptime and the admin is goodat maintaining the instance. There are monthly system and financial stats. For major changes to how things are run, they always post and ask for feedback from users, instead of just coming out with their own ruling.
They also leave it to the users to block instances they don't like. It can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. If you want something more curated out-of-the-box, .world might be more up your alley. If you want to do it on your own, lemmee gives you more freedom to do so.
Both. Why have one account? This isn't Reddit. Having alts on other servers is fine as long as you don't vote manipulate or use it for ban evasion.
Multiple accounts just gets exhausting
Don't like having one post on one account and another post on the other account
Man I enjoy federation just because I don't need multiple accounts
Almost anything is better than .world
It’s just like the ‘What’s the best camera?’ Question.
Unless the instance your account is on has been defederated by a bunch of people and/or .world, the best account is the one you already have.
